I strongly recommend the addition of a crucial feature to your camera product: a notification alert when the camera powers off.

This feature is not just a convenience but a necessity for users like myself who rely on your camera for personal security and monitoring. Knowing immediately when the camera shuts down—whether due to a power failure, manual shutdown, or any other reason—is critical for maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the monitoring system.

I believe this enhancement is essential to ensuring that your product continues to meet the high standards expected by your users.

  @Solla-topee how about advanced car detection like USPS, FedEx, UPS, Amazon, basically all the major shippers. I don't care for other cars but mainly want to get alerted if those specific cars pass by.

  @Chaftun agree ... any status change would be great ... power off (may be dificult if the hardware is doing the notification. Maybe a hub could handle this). Privacy mode, disabling the camera, removing the camera, changing settings etc. This would all be important to detect tampering and / or hacking.

I'm in the process of replacing other brands of cameras (specifically eufy) for the TAPO platform which IMHO is superior especially when it comes to AI. I do have some suggestions. Let me start by stating that i am attempting to remove bias (what im use to). However, there are some simple user expereince improvements that would improve the TAPO platform. I'm also coming at this from purely a camera perspective as I dont have any other TAPO devices.

1. Home tab: Why cant we show a thumbnail image for cameras? 

2. Camera tab: I like the ability to start playing a stream but it seems odd to have to click "manage" to view the live stream in non-thumbnail. Seems like it would make more sense to just click on the image to view full size and remove the "manage" button. 

3. Multi Camera View: Its odd that i have to go to one camera to set up and view multiple cameras. Would be nice to have a home / camera tab + button to add multi view setups. 

4. I love the ability to swipe between cameras. However, it would also be nice to be able to automatically switch between cameras like a lot of NVRs do. Or ... be able to switch between cameras based on motion. 

5. Image adjustments ... seems like a lot of newer cameras dont support picture adjustments. I've noticed the color on the TAPO cameras is a bit washed out. If we had simple brightness, contrast, saturation and hue adjustments that would be awesome sauce.

6. I'm into efficiency. So, clicking camera tab, clicking manage, then hiding the interface just to get to a full screen image is a bit inefficient. Most of us just want to click on a camera and see it full screen. With TAPO its just to many clicks / taps.

So, home tab camera images, the weird manage button to view full screen, saving multi camera views, auto cycling views, image adjustments, and 1 click to view full screen would be fantastic improvements to what appears to be a great platform. Cant wait to get the additional cameras i ordered in. Cant wait to retire my "other" brand of cameras.

Thanks,

One more request for old times sake :)

Lets add a smoke detector / alarm alert to the already great list of sound alerts.
